**********************

Scene 6 ---------- The Center Of The Village


* Kumataro lays a hand on Habataro's shoulder and they glance at each other when Hiei arrives followed by Coutaro. The Koorime glances around the crowd that's gathered and notices the young female he'd rescued. Hiei glances over his shoulder toward Coutaro and the Lynx demon sinks to one knee showing his willing submission. All eyes follow the short, dark stranger as he moves across the rounded plaza of the village. Darieth keeps her eyes lowered when Hiei stops in front of her.


Hiei- You and your baby are well, girl?


* Darieth nods as she rubs her rounded belly.


Darieth- Hai.. Thank you for saving us, Master.

Hiei- Have you learned the value of obedience?


* Darieth now meets Hiei's eyes briefly with a slight smirk.


Darieth- Uncle Cou talks too much.

Hiei- Perhaps.. Answer me one more thing.


* Hiei half glances up toward her nearby Father, then leans in to whisper against her ear as he snuffles in her scent.


Hiei (Whispered)- Will their decision affect your child?


* Darieth's eyes widen at his obvious concern. When Hiei pulls back she shakes her head in answer. Hiei raises a hand to touch her head when she bows it. He then moves back to the center of the plaza.


Hiei- My name is Hiei.. I'm the newest Alpha in this region.. I want it to be known here and now by all of you..


* Hiei looks toward Habataro.


Hiei- All.. of you.. That I did not come here with any intentions of being either your leader.. or your hero.


* Hiei watches all of them look toward Coutaro, who has spent the most time with this stranger. The kneeling demon nods.


Coutaro- He speaks the truth.. The one before you has defeated Gamock to earn his position and that old b------'s pack.

Habataro- Gamock?!

Kumataro- You whipped that old s---'s tail?!

Hiei- Hn.. I killed him.

Coutaro- He came here thinking that we were a merchant village.

Hiei- I honestly only came seeking new garments for my new pack.


* Hiei grows quiet to listen to the soft murmurring spread through the gathered villagers. Habataro finally raises a hand silencing them as he moves forward.


Habataro- This male is an S-Class.. I knew as soon as I felt his energy that I had no chance.. I willingly submit myself to you, Lord Hiei, and plead your mercy on my brothers.


* Hiei feels a tingle go through his core when the taller demon sinks down to his hands and knees with his head bowed.


Habataro- Do with me as you please.. Kill me if I'm not worthy to be claimed.. But please.. spare my brothers.


* The feelings that surge up inside Hiei, as he looks down on Habataro, remind him of the first time he put Gamaru in his place. Hiei half glances toward Coutaro as he begins to move around Habataro, studying him. His mind replays the last conversation he had with the younger Lynx as he rubs his chin then comes to a stop a couple feet behind Habataro. He can smell the former alpha's fear. With a slight, but resolute, nod Hiei moves forward. He reaches out a hand and trails it down the elder Lynx's spine.


Hiei- Answer me this, Habataro.. Will my claiming of you affect your current matings?


* Habataro swallows, then hesitantly lifts his head some.


Habataro- N-Not if you make us your.. concubines.


* For some reason the word shoots straight through Hiei and in reaction he grasps a handful of Habataro's tawny mane to yank him up against his chest.


Hiei- I.. sense that you're.. straight..

Habataro- I-I.. was.. B-but you have.. p-proven yourself stronger than me.. You saved my niece.. I deem you worthy to.. s-submit myself to..


* Hiei leans closer, as if drawn by a magnet, to snuffle against Habataro's neck. His tongue peeks out to tease Habataro's left pulse and he can literally feel the Cat's pulse quicken. Hiei's eyes survey the crowd that's gathered around them. The number is greater by far than the number of demon's in his pack back in the ravine. He notices that there are many able-bodied males of various ages.


Hiei- I want all of you to pay very close attention to what I'm about to do.. If anyone has an objection, speak it now.


* Hiei looks toward Coutaro again. The younger twin meets Habataro's eyes briefly, then lowers his own. Hiei looks over his shoulder toward Kumataro.


Habataro- I told you.. I've made my decision.. Nobdy will object.. or reject your.. authority.


* Kumataro looks down at his daughter. Hiei nods when everyone else remains quietly observant.


Hiei- Very well, then.. I have made my decision.


* Hiei reaches a hand around to press Habataro closer against him. He then moves his other hand up to tangle it in the Lynx's thick, tawny hair to tilt his head to the left. The Koorime gets no resistance, other than widened eyes, as he leans to brush his lips over Hab's right ear.


Hiei- I could mark you on this side.. To make you my permanent.. mate.. This would terminate your current matings.. You would not object to this?


* Habataro closes his eyes. Hiei's jagan glows softly so that he can feel the Lynx's emotions, read his every thought. He feels the brief stab of sorrow that tightens Hab's chest, sees his thoughts of his three current mates. Then he also feels the Cat's resolve and acceptance when he nods.


Habataro- I will not.. go back on my word,.. Master.


* Hiei feels his fangs lengthen as the submissive male speaks. In one swift movement he yanks Habataro's head to the right and sink's them into his left artery. The rush of relief washes through Hiei, then is quickly replaced by a rush of a different kind. Both of them close their eyes and growl at the sensations they feel as their energies surge and merge. The sensation is nearly overwhelming for the Koorime who's never felt this much dominance before. Hiei becomes so caught up in this new power that his body begins to move instinctually. Dry humping, grinding his front against Habataro's back. It takes a great deal of effort for the apparition to get himself back under control when he realizes that his dominant aura is overwhelming Habataro. He feels the Lynx's energy lessening until it is almost indistinguishable from his own. When Hiei finally pulls back Habataro's body goes limp as he loses conciousness. Hiei carefully eases him down to the ground and stands up to back away from the demon he's just claimed. He closes his eyes to concentrate curiously on the powerful, intoxicating sensation coursing through him. After enjoying it for a few moments he opens his eyes to search the gathered demons and sets them on one of the nearby females.


Hiei- See to your mate, woman.


* He watches her move around him nervously, then hurry to check Habataro. The Koorime then turns and lifts his three glowing eyes to meet Kumataro's. The older twin nods and drops to the same position Habataro took. Hiei keeps his steps as calm as he can manage as he goes over and yanks Kuma up to face him.


Hiei- The males here,.. you three.. None are bearers.. Correct?

Kumataro- That's not a trait of our species, Master.

Hiei- Hn.. Good.. What of you,.. are you straight?

Kumataro- The only one of us that.. was bi.. is Coutaro.

Hiei- Then I won't push neither you nor your brother.. into anything further than.. this.


* Hiei watches Kumataro willingly lean his head to the right. He wastes no further time and yanks the male closer to mark him. Again, the same rush makes it almost impossible for Hiei to keep the promise he just made. He snaps out of his haze, though, when he feels Kuma sag against him. Hiei lowers Kuma to the ground and works his fangs loose. When he stands he motions Darieth to check her Father. It takes a great effort for Hiei to stagger back away from them. Then he turns and sets his eyes on Coutaro. Just the knowledge of knowing how willing this last male will be makes him blur over to face Coutaro. The youngest brother raises his eyes to meet Hiei's.


Coutaro- Do with me.. as you will, Master.. I was.. taken as a young boy, but I have since had many..


* Hiei growls in Coutaro's face quieting him.


Hiei- D---.. You do talk too much..


* Coutaro smirks and relaxes as Hiei yanks him closer to begin the marking. By this time, though, Hiei's body is nearly exhausted by the energy he's already struggled to contain. He manages to summon up just enough to complete the ritual on Coutaro, then lowers him to the ground as he works loose from his left artery. Hiei gets back up to his feet and turns to look around wearily. When he is certain that there will be no objections he nods and leaves the plaza. He makes his way back to the hut he's staying in, leans against the door a moment, then shoves himself inside. He just makes it to the thick mattress and collapses forward onto it. With his last conscious thought he turns his head to the side so he can breathe and gives himself over to the hibernation graciously.
